And UMass drops the Ice Breaker tournament semifinal to Omaha, 2-1 in OT.

Once again not a great showing, the defense looked shaky against the forecheck (same old story as the last two games) and some lousy turnovers lead to a loss that the team will probably regret once the pairwise starts to matter.

Unless the freshmen can build some confidence and familiarity very quickly, there's no way UMass is making the tournament this year.

Honestly sucks as a fan, if this team wants to maintain relevance it needs tangible results or we'll be back to the times when decent recruits wouldn't even look in the program's direction.

They won the consolation game and Omaha beat Minnesota in OT. Only BC and BU have more rostered draft picks in all of college hockey. They’re three games into a season where 2/3 of their defense wasn’t on the team last year. Let’s see how they look in two months.

Exhibition? It doesn't count in Pairwise?

No, technically not a real game. Harvard is still listed as 0-0-0. BU started its backup goalie(Max Lacroix) and Cole Eiserman didn't play(maintenance), though Pando said he would have played if it was a regular game. Big weekends coming up, BU heads to Grand Forks for two, then hosts Michigan for two.

A couple years ago the NCAA started allowing NCAA teams to play exhibition games against other NCAA teams. Before that your only option was to play Canadian universities and those games tended to get out of hand/quite chippy. So you always have to check at the beginning of the year if it's a real game or just an exhibition.

Odd seeing Minnesota with a first place vote. Denver deserves all of them. This is last season for Mike Schafer at Cornell and that team is loaded. They should be best team in ECAC this year and legit national title contender.

Now NCAA teams can scrimmage ACHA teams.
